Is it possible to do any type of programmatic data transformation in Entity Framework 5 Code First migrations? There is an Sql () method to execute queries, but it has return type void and I don't see any way to get the results of the queries I perform. Example I have table Recipe with one-to-many relationship to Ingredient . For various reasons I want to convert this to a Ingredients JSON string property instead. The only approach I can think of is something like this: Create new column IngredientsJson For each recipe, query its ingredients, construct a JSON string programmatically and insert

I use EF 6. My existing code is : public void CreateOrUpdateCompanyDb(string companyDbName) { try { string connectionString = _connectionStringProvider.GetConnectionString(companyDbName); DbMigrationsConfiguration cfg = CreateMigrationsConfig(connectionString); cfg.AutomaticMigrationsEnabled = false; cfg.AutomaticMigrationDataLossAllowed = false; DbMigrator dbMigrator = new DbMigrator(cfg); dbMigrator.Update(); } catch (MigrationsException exception) { _logger.Error(string.Format("Error creating company database '{0}'",companyDbName), exception); } } with connection string as follows : Server

Per Customizing the Migrations History Table , I should be able to add a column, however I'm not able to find any examples on how to actually add the new column.

Context 1 has the following entity: public class MyTrust { public int MyTrustID { get; set; } public string MyTrustName { get; set; } } and Context 2 has the following entity: public class MyLocation { public int MyLocationID { get; set; } public int MyTrustID { get; set; } public virtual MyTrust MyTrust { get; set; } } with the following Fluent API modelBuilder.Entity<MyLocation>() .HasRequired(m => m.MyTrust); The migration

I'm investigating using Code-Based EF Migrations for a product that does not use EF. Everything generally works well, except that the command: Add-Migration MyTestMigration outputs the following message: Unable to generate an explicit migration because the following explicit migrations are pending: [201206260845338_DannyTest]. Apply the pending explicit migrations before attempting to generate a new explicit migration. The reason for this is that the connection string is not known at build time, and EF has randomly created a database called "MyContextName" on .\SQLExpress. I cannot apply the
